Grow new Brain Cells
In the recent past, we were told that we were given a certain number of brain cells and that was it for life. However, this idea that humans do not grow new brain cells is now fully demonstrated to be wrong. The ability to re-grow new brain cells is called neurogenesis.
"Adult Neurogenesis" refers to the ability of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to generate new neurons in adulthood called adult-generated neurons. This is as differentiated from "neurogenesis" typically used to describe the processes of neuronal generation that occur during the prenatal (embryonic and fetal) period extending into the early years of postnatal life. Meditation has been proven time and time again (including a 2007 University of Geissen, Germany study) to harness the power of neurogenesis to build a better, healthier, and happier brain. Exercise also contributes to neurogenesis.
